suicide showers

No, this is not a post about further guerilla conflicts, but simply a short post about day to day life down here. Having hot water is a pretty big deal here, those who can afford it have it, those who cant make do with water. Most hostels offer hot water as an immenity but whether they actually have it is another thing altogether. The best part of each day is when I step out from under the wetness, covered in cold or hot water, and find that i'm still alive. For hot water down here does not mean that you have a hot water heater, but that there is an electric device with wires protuding from it directly wired into the shower head. Not only this, but you are lucky if the wires are covered completely with no copper exposed. To make things worse, sometimes the circuit breakerbox is next to the shower, as in this case. This is the reason I usually take cold showers and just leave the electricity to itself. Day to day life that one takes for granted but is hilarious, nonetheless.
